Throne Speech Debate —

1  Mr. Macdonald to move in amendment, seconded by Mr. Farnworth

Be it resolved that the Motion for the Address in Reply be amended by adding the following: “But this assembly regrets that the Throne Speech fails to address the need for attention to be paid to rural British Columbians, particularly those who have been reliant on the forest industry where over 22,000 jobs have disappeared, that the government refuses to promote and protect jobs for all British Columbians, failing to address the fact that over 68,000 British Columbians lost their jobs according to the last monthly Statistics Canada report, that after eight years of service cuts and higher costs for average families this government continues to put their friends and pet projects ahead of the needs of everyday families, that this government failed to even mention the serious issue of community safety and gang crime and has failed in providing health care and education as is witnessed by eight years of hospital waiting lists, school closures, privatization, emergency room overcrowding and the long term care crisis.”
